After losing reliably elite goalscorer James Neal to the Golden Knights, the Predators may be looking to add a high-performing winger in free agency.
Poile says he'd like to start talks with 5-6 potential free agents starting tomorrow prior to July 1 signing period. #Preds

With the Capitals’ re-signing of T.J. Oshie, a tempting player with the potential to be an expensive mistake is off the board. With Oshie gone, Alexander Radulov is the only high-impact winger not yet in his mid-thirties left in free agency, and my guess is that Poile is not going to bring Radulov back for a third time.
